What Can You Expect From Our Programs?
Destination Science summer camp programs for kids focus on teaching children science and social skills. We know parents want their kids to learn more about STEM, but social skills can be just as critical. Camp can help children prepare for a school setting if they’re heading into kindergarten.
Our programs are, first and foremost, fun. They engage kids because they’re entertaining. You can also expect your child to bring home projects they make with us, allowing them to continue learning long after the camp ends!

Our summer STEM programs are designed for kids ages 5 to 11. Campers are grouped by grade so every activity fits their level: Kinder-1st in our youngest group, 2nd-3rd in our middle group, and 4th-6th in our oldest group. Teens can keep growing with our Leaders in Training program. Most camps run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each day includes three hands-on Science Stations with experiments geared to your child's age, plus two Outside Action Stations for games and outdoor fun. Campers take home what they build, so the learning continues after camp. This summer we offer three themes: Robot Olympic Challenge, where campers build robots for Olympic-style games; Movie Maker STEM Lab, packed with chain reactions and filmmaking; and Jedi Engineering, a space and STEM adventure. If your child attends more than one week, we recommend a different theme each week. Yes! Extended care from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. is available at select locations in Southern California, Northern California, Long Island, and the Seattle area. Check the camp details for each location, or find a summer camp near you that offers extended care. We keep groups small so every camper gets attention. Our ratio is 10 to 14 campers for each adult camp counselor, and our teachers are trained to make science fun while building life skills like creativity, persistence, confidence, and cooperation.
